Some great players over the years. I have always liked the D-Backs and the World Series in 2001 is one of my favorite sports memories ever

Torey Lovullo has been manager since 2017 ( I would never have guessed that) 

The D-Backs had a great run in 2023 eventually losing to the Rangers in the World Series

Brenly has to be one.

A few thoughts from the Arizona game notes file:

DBacks have been okay, all things considered. We've both given up only 19 ER so far.

Former Mets coming home:
James McCann (0-0, 45.00 ERA in one inning pitched, plus he also serves as their backup catcher)
Paul Sewald (0-1, 4.50, three saves)

Surprise! Nolan Arenado is a DBack. So is Carlos Santana across the diamond. They're both old and terrible now.

Corbin Carroll is the only guy in the lineup you really worry about these days.

DBacks won 2 of 3 at Citi last year.

Weds: Ryne Nelson (0-1, 5.79) vs Peterson
Thurs: Eduardo Rodriguez, their ace (0.00) vs McLean

Gallen has held the Mets to a .188 average, which is the best among all active starting pitchers vs the Mets since 2019.

Bob Brenly is one 

 

Good info ,Seawolf 

[A Boy Named Seo]

Was Matt Williams their manager? If so, I'll guess him.

PS - these both sound like lies to me:

• Tory Lovullo has been the Arizona manager since 2017
• James McCann is still an active baseball player 

[metirish]

Matt Williams is not one , right ,I was surprised with Lovullo

SB -- Tony Womack, uh, 299

[Frayed Knot]

Manager Kirk Gibson

[Edgy MD]

I am slumping, trivia-wise, but I'm picking Buck Showalter for Manager of the Year with The 'Backs.

[metirish]

Womack is correct with single season record of 72 in 99

 

Kirk Gibson is correct 

 

Buck is not correct 

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

there was that former Met who was manager for one year. He might have only been a farmhand. Hispanic guy.
